From this list it appears the Spanish Naval Force is very formidable in those seas, and may give the Inde pendents some serious employment. Lima Gazettes have been received this morning; they bring no accounts of an interesting nature, being only three days later than those already received, an. nouncing the surrender of Callao. Bermuda Papers are received to the 25th of March. Their contents are not of any interest whatever. THE GENERAL STEAM-NAVIGATION COM PANY'S PACKET, the Sir Edward Banks, arrived this morning from Hamburgh in about 50 hours, bring ing Count Moltk.6, the Danish Ambassador, and suite. Also Count Dankerfeldt, and other foreigners of dis tinction.—Hamburgh Papers have been received by this conveyance, at the North and South American Subscription Rooms, but they contain no news of any consequence. The Bolton Chronicle of Saturday last says, fust as we were going to press we were informed, that Mr. Chadwick's factory at Heywood was on fire. Three floors had fallen in, and there was not the »lightest chance of its being saved. It was not then known hoW it had taken fire. We are sorry when our public duty requires that we should censure public men ;- we' never seek the oppor tunity, but we are sometimes called upon in a way not to be resisted, and the present is one of those occa-. sions. We'migh4 like other journals,. waste all the terms of reprobation, and not do injustice to the character of WILLIAM COBBETT ; but we be lieve, that it is sufficiently known to render our services in the way of description totally unnecessary. It is with pain then that we observe that Sir THOMAS BEEVOR is aiding and abetting him in an attempt to obtain a seat in the House of Commons, and that as money will do great things, there is some chance of his accomplishing his purpose. Is Sir THOMAS BEEVOR ignorant of the character of Mr. COBBETT ?. Does he believe that Mr. COBBETT has not been a political apostate ? that he has not deceived his friends and betrayed the confidence of his Patrons ? and . does Sir .TIIOMAS think that the object of his care will- ever be admitted into the society of honourable men ? If, indeed, Sir TnomAs BEEVOR be ignorant upon these points, it is time some friend should inform him of his error. He stands at present in a situation of heavy responsibility : he has avowed himself the associate of Mr. Coantrr. If he does know the past life of the man whom he is patronizing, lie is lending himself to the infliction of an insult on the people of England—of a de gradation on the House of Commons. Is he the dupe of Mr. COBBETT'S sophistry, or does he deliberately wish to identify himself with the exhi bitor of the bones of the Pseudo-Tom PA.INE ? `We should be sorry to find him hastily declaring him self the insulter of the British Legislature ; and yet it is astonishing that he should be unacquainted with the acts of WM. COBBETT. Does Sir THOMAS think that he who deceived the shrewdest of . Patriots, BUR• DETT, can be trusted hereafter ? can he have any con fidence in a man • who has sold himself first to one party and then to another ? can he suppose for a mo ment that he can hold up his head after attempting to bring the British Parliament into disrepute by the introduetion of one in whose company it were a humi liation to be obliged to sit ? • We are disgusted with the subject, altogether. The recollection of the past conduct of Mr. COBBETT is unlike that of the life of any other public man ; one redeeming trait would be a relief, but in the total absence of this in the past, and in the utter hopelessness of a repentance hereafter, we do think the interference of Sir THOMAS BEEVOR one of the most ill-judged, and, to himself, disastrous measures that he could have adopted ; how far he may be blinded to his own interests, we know not, but he at present stands before the people of England the aider and abettor of a man past all shame, in an object calculated to injure the best interests of the nation. We have just received the following statement from a Correspondent in the City : A great sensation was created on the Stock Ex change on Saturday, about the close of the business, by the arrest of one of the most reputable of its mem bers, for a sum of 60,0001. at the suit of a Mr. Jones, who it seems was the party implicated in the Mining Juggle of the Tywarnhall Company. The facts of the case are simply these. The Tywarn hall Mining Company was formed by Mr. Jones and some other individuals, whose proceedings became the subject of strong animadversion at a public meeting of the holders of scrip receipts. A Com mittee of Gentlemen, who possessed 'the confidence of the Shareholders, was appointed by the Meeting to examine and report on the Company's'affairs: The report of this Committee, which was read at a subsequent General Meeting, induced the Sharehol ders to come to the unanimous resolution of adopting legal measures against the Directors to whom Mr. Jones (who was one himself) had sold certain mines, and had obtained 5,000/. on account, with a , memorandum to receive some 70 to 80,0001. more without any survey or valuation of the property. The exposure of these facts seems to have irritated the chief party, who, with an assurance not very common, boldly swore to a debt of 60,0001. and upwards against no less than eleven individuals, whom, it seems, he cal culated on fixing as partners although at the most, mere purchasers of shares in the market; the member who was arrested on Saturday found bail immediatelny, notwithstanding the enormity of the sum ; a second gentleman, who was arrested, was not so fortunate ; but being a solicitor, will of course be immediately re leased. The facts being instantly communicated to the parties concerned, they are endeavouring to avoid the arrest until some steps be taken to bring the matter to an issue. In the mean time, several persons of the highest respectability are driven from the Exchange on the eve of a Settling Day, and in the midst of the most important part of their business. We look with sonic anxiety for the result of this extraordinary -affair. THE FUNDS. There has been a great heaviness in the Money Market during the last week, in consequence of several sales of Money Stock, but the prices have not materially declined, 77a being the lowest price, and '77k was the closing price of Saturday's transactions. There seems to be a disposition on O A part of the , public to sell Consols, and exchange them for the new 4 per Cent. Stuck, and which appears from a calculation' which this paper has exclusively given to the public, is attended with considerable profit. Many sirs of Money Stock have also taken place, in consequence of the near approach of the shutting of the Conaols, the holders not wish ing t~ their money out of their reach, in case any scarcity should arise; and which persons, who attentively watch the symp toms, and &reconsidered wise in their generation, seem to antici pate: The approaching general election has also produced a few sales of Stock, and looking at the number of populous places ex pected to be contested, we think a large sum of money is about. to leave London on its travels. The altered auto of the Money Market might, therefore, raa7 aonably account even for a greater depression in the price of Stocks, without allusion to any of the principal reports with which many of our cotemporaries amuse the public. In the Foreign Market the fluctuations have not been extensive. The currency given to the reports as to an immediate war betweer, Russia and Turkey affected the price of Russian Bonds, which fell from 76 to 741, and the other Northern 'Securities also be came depressed. In Colombian and Mexican Securities there has been hasdly any business doing. No house has, as yet, come for ward to pay the dividend due in July on the Colombian Bonds. A Quarter past Twelve o' Clock.

PORTSSIOUTH, MAY 20.—0 n Monday the Lively, 46, Capt. Elliot, C. B. arrived from Lisbon (sailed thence with -the Glas gow,) and yesterday she sailed for Plymouth.

Mayne, sailed for Dublin, to land Major Butt's Company of Royal Artillery, and takes thence the company now stationed there to Halifax. Cap tain* Pratt and Wilcox, with 53 men of the 81st Regisneut, em barked here, for the same destination. The vessel called the Turnstile, rigged and worked on the new plan, by Lieut. Shuldhans, of the Navy, arrived here on Monday evening. She encountered some very Leavy weather in the Channel, in her passage from Salcombe, in which she was ob liged to beat up the whole way against an easterly breeze. She is only six feet beam, and the men who navigated her declare, that had she not been a remarkably fine boat, she must have gone to the b Atom. ller appearance is handsome,' and her sails set and stood well, and are reduced and increased by reef boards (not reef bands) at the bottom; and as her masts are solely supported by wrought iron pivots, with single cross trees, which is the in ventor's weakest mode of constructing them • and when it is con sidered that they are snore than half the h eight of the masts of vessels of 70 tons, it is presumed, that when the stronger method of supporting them is resorted to, viz. that of the cross-trees working between circular sweeps—that the plan is applicable to coasting vessels of the largest description, which may be sailed with fewer hands—the ,turation of their voyage would be cur tailed, and a great saving of wear and tear of rigging. Lieut. S. is about to fit out a coasting vessel on the same construction, and rigged on the same principle. —llampshire Telegraph. PLYMOUTH, MAY 18. 7 -Sailed the 13rak, Capt.

This mournful ce remony was attended by most of the military officers of this gar rison, civilians, and a few naval officers, and we regret that we did not perceive a single officer of the Navy boring a rank cor responding to that of the late gallant Lieut.-Colonel, whose merits as an officer claimed respect, and whose virtue* as a mem ber of society were not unworthy of imitation. • [FROM LLOYDS.I DEAL, MAY 20.—Wind E.N.E.—Arrived and sailed for the River, the Nepos, Trader, from the Mauritius; Frederick, Haw kins, St. Michaels; Ann of Whitby, I3artindale , River Gambia; Bride, --, Trieste ; Manly, Sayers, St. "%lamas; Janet, Lovell, Jamaica, and Alert, Chapman, Smyrna.

The claillM of 'Lords Verulam . and Bloomfield, were adjourie..l till Thursday next. Lord Redesdalu iu alluding to the Dr . Lila claim of Peerage, said that under all the cireurtia,nces, was of opinion that the claim ought not to be allowed, as it did not appear that a writ, and consequent sitting, created a Peerage in iee, in the reign of Richard the Second.—Further r..onsidera tion. was adjourned to Thurs:lay. .

Yesterday his Majesty, accompanied by the Lord Steward, in his travelling carriage, with his usual re tinue of outriders, arrived at the Royal Lodge. On his Majesty's arrival lie inspected the improvements making agreeable .to his order, at the Royal Lodge, which are nearly completed, and which will add much to the improvement of the comfortable accommoda-' tions of that delightful retreat.. After inspecting the Royal Lodge, his Mdesty, with the Lord ; Steward, entered his phaeton, which was in waiting, and drove through the Long walk direct to the Castle ; on en tering which his Majesty's attention was attracted to the foundation of the new portico, which is to be erected in front of the grand entrance, and which is designed to embellish that magjestic entrance,• as well as in bad weather to afford protection to the Royal attendants and visiters, under which they can alight from their carriages, and walk along the arcade to their different apartments. His Majesty, on en tering the Castle square, was•met by Mr. Wyatville, and after taking a view Of the square front, his Ma jesty descended from his phaeton, and inspected the whole of the interior, with which his Majesty seemed highly pleased. His Majesty entered the Castle at three o'clock, and left at four, when he returned by the same route to the Royal Lodge, and from thence pro ceeded to inspect the improvements carrying on at Virginia Water. Alter which his Majesty returned to Cumberland Lodge, and, with the Lord Steward, en tered hia travelling carriage, which, with his retinue, was there in readiness ; when . his Majesty left for Carlton Palace. COURT CIRCULAR. Saturday morning, between 11 and 12 o'clock, Ilis Majesty left town in his travelling carriage for Wind sor, where the King inspected the works going on at the Royal Castle. His Majesty dined at the Royal Lode, and afterwards retained to London. esterday the Duchess of Glocester visited the King. The Lord Chancellor had an audience of his Majesty yesterday. Saturday Prince Leopold had another numerous grand dinner party at Marlborough-house. Prince Leopold honoured the Italian Opera with his presence on Saturday evening. esterday afternoon the Duke of York, and a party of the nobility, &c. were admitted to a private view of the exhibition at Somerset-place. Sir Thomas Law rence, the President of the Royal Academy, and the officers of the institution, were in attendance to receive the Royal Duke, and to conduct his Royal Highness through the different rooms appropriated for the dis play of the different specimens of the arts. GENERAL ELECTION A sharp contest for the county of Cornwall is ex pected. Mr. Pendarves stands in opposition to the Sitting Members, Mr. Tremayne and Sir Richard Vyvyan. Mr. Croker and Mr. North stand for the University of Dublin ; but it is expected that the former will be returned. COVENT GARDEN THEATRE. A new Play, 'in five acts, entitled Woonwroce, was on Saturday night produced at Covent Garden. The cutter-down of a work by the Great Unknown, ha. a de licate And somewhat perplexing task to perform. In a Novel and a Drama, the general character of the component parts, differs as essentially as does the arrangement of those parts. The spirit and meaning of three volumew of a novel can 310 more be compressed into the five acts of a play by the mere exercise of a pair of scissors, than the King of Brolnlignae's trowsers, by being cut off at the bottoms, could be made to fit him as inexpreasibles. It is, under these circumstances, to the advantage of the drama, that the audience, from a previous knowledge of the plot, are enabled to connect any break which may occur in the thread of the story. Independently of such assistance, a play of this kind could, in fact have little more effect than the repetition of one of the Chancellor's Speeches, giving such points only as have drawn down the cheers of the House. SO well known as the novel is, and with all failings deserves to be, it would be super fluout to go farther into the plot of the play than simply to state that it commences with the meeting in Woodstock-park, of Tom king and Sir Henry Lee, and 'ends with the arrival of Cromwell after Charles has departed. The politician seems to he tolerably well performed ;- the attention is kept well awakened ; and there are some partswhich displayconsiderable ability in the management of the dia logue—we allude particularly to that scene between Everard awl Sir Henry Lie, where he refuses his daughter; and to the ren contre between Charles and Everard in the forest. The cha racters that mske up the body of - basilicas in Woodstock Out play), are Sir Henry Lee, and Colonel Everard, and Mistress Alice, and Mr Wildrake—who are not the personages' about whom the curiosity of the audience is particularly awakened. King Charles has little to do—at least little that is to the purpose : the scene only, in which he is disguised as the Seotchman ' • and the scene afterwards (an effective one) in which he gives up the lady. The female attire is left out, as well as the meeting with Alice at the well, with out much disparagement to the piece from the omis sion ; and, though the exceeding rusticity of Master Louis Kerneguy becomes laughable in the representation, 'Scotch Noblemen must have been very odd people when their sons were used to wear such a guise, and employ such demeanour. Crom well, whom every body looks to, appears only three times in the Vey, and to produce very little sensation. He starts at the King's picture (at'very short notice) in his first scene; squabbles with Roger Wildrake, not too naturally or decorously, in the second ; and orders half a dozen people to be hanged one minute, and par dons them in the next—his long nap being necessarily left out. • Mr. Cooper delivered a Prologue, and Mrs. Chatterley au Epi logue, both miserable performances. The play was received favourably throughout, and, at the con clusion, announced foe repetition amid general applause. The accounts of Saturday from Liverpool, Man chester, Leeds, and other places, are favourable, as regards an improvement in trade, anti an increasing demand for goods. 'No hear, too, that large orders have been transmitted to Leeds from London for the manufacture of cloth, which, being chiefly of the coarser kinds, will necessarily give employment to an immerse number of poor persona. We suspect the Courier $ account on Saturday of the Manchester Races was merely a Ruff guess TURF INTELLIGENCE EXTRA.

Findiiia. her petition disregarded, she gave up the. pursuit witg a parting ejaculation—" God bless your honour ! 1 wish your heart was us tender as your • feet." The shrewdness of this appeal drew at once a shilling from the pocket and a-smile • from the countenance of the old gentleman, notwithstanding the pain which Mr., MacAdam's.pebbles were inflicting upon him. 1:41) ~DIAMOND. CUT DIAMO,-7-41 is the pratice, it seems, for the salesmen of hay, in Whitechapel Hay market, to give a bonus to any one who brings a good round order, Which bonus is very modestly added to the purchaser's bill. On Thursday, a knowieg dog took advantage of this practice, to trick . a number of salesmen out of a crowr piece. It is utmecessary to say, that the disappointment and chagrin of the car men and their masters were not small, on driving home their hay, agreeably to direction, to. find that no Mon sieur Tonson lodged there.. ..The same trick, with si milar success, was played ,off on Friday, at the Borough Hay-market. • THE MARKE,TS. COIMEXCIIANGE--(Tma DAY). The 9upply during last week was moderate of Euglifik corn, but there was a good quantity of Irish Oats and of Flour. This morning the arrivals from the adjacent counties of Essex, Kent, and, fintfillk, are tolerably good, but there are very few vessels up from the distant ports. The Wheat trade is in a very dull state, and a decline of 4s. per quarter may be noted from the terms of last Monday. Barley is in so trifling demand diet prices art merely nominal ; a few grinding samples went off at about the same rates as on Monday last. Beans ate unaltered, and Pease of both kinds are dull at last quotation*. Oats with difficulty meet a sale at terms hardly equal to Monday's prices. Flour is unaltered. AnnivAts or 1.1011 WEEK.
